Application filed October 13, 1924. i Serial No. 743,441..

This invention relates- `generally to at? tachrnent means for hinges and* refers more particularly tothe` inea-ns employed` for attaching door hinges to nietallicfpillars of 6 vehicle bodies:r j i c, y Onel Ottheessentialobjects of thezinven tionr istofprofvide a light andrdurable pillar that is' preferably provifdedz Withnieans for receiving the main hinge `parts' and lias-A 10 means 'fori holding" suitable attaching* plates thefproper` Iposition 'to facilitate assembly ot'theflringe parts.; i.. Y

Another obfect isy to provid-.ea strong` and durable postf or pillfar Whichpis preferably' formed of' sections that are' connected tov provide a. hollow post that getherfso as tos is sealed on all sides.. y -A further' vobjectv isv to provide attach-`` mentl means of, the typedfescribedthat kis, simple in construction and cani .be mami;- taeturedait a comparatively low feest..

-Wit-h the above. and other objects in view the invention. consists in certain. novel. tui-'es` of construetiom. combinations andv ar rangements: ot" partsv will be nierefully described and?. particularly pointed out in"v the" appended claims..I Y

I Referring nonr toL thefdfranrine in which like lcharacters of reference designate 'corresponding' part-s tlirouplroutthe `several views, the nnnjierallf designates atinotor vch'iele body' ofthe eliosr-zd type havin@ a rne-v tall'iclpostorI pilla-r 2" to which a suitable r door 31 is preferably pivotally"connectedfby 4" means-vot suitable hinges (E.

The pillar 2 is preferably Vlli tht in! Weight but possesses ,creat strength and for this ose isf preferably torifned? oft tivoy sheet inet l members; 5 andi 6? respectively. VAls shown, the -nie'rnber kr jissulistantially L- shaped in cross section and is provided? 'at its edges with the laterally extending flanges 7 andi S-respec-tively, While the vmember 6 is also substantially Lsshaped inV cross section and is provided with the marginal flanges thetpillarsections and"showing a: main hinge" -9 and 10 respectively that` are preferably AWelded to thelianges 7 and 8 respectively of' the ineniber 5, thereby providinga hollenr sheet'inetal pillar that isv light in Weight and4 iserceptional-ly durable. f

' For supporting the Vhinges 4f u-ponj the'v pillar 21r each ineinber 5 ispreterably prok vided at. spaced pointswit-h transverselyextendine' depressions l1' Which receive the main V-hing'e parts 1.2.*` As showrneach depression 1'1 is preferably ot the 1 roper depth.

e so that the outer taces ot thek main hingel parts 12 will be sY ast-antially lush'with the inner tace 13 ofthe pillar 2. For lattachine the hinpje parts l2 to the member 5, I preferably provide suitable screws 14 which extend. through suitable openings 15 in the I depressed portions ll. ot the member 5-and threadedly engage relatively thiclr` attaching' plates 16. To maintain registration of the threaded screw openings 17 in the plates l5 with the openings 15A inv the depressed.A portions lily and thereby yto facilitateV assembly ot the hinge parts l2 upon Jthe pillar,` the plates 16 are fpreterably.heldr against the inner J{aces/ot' thedepressedA portions l1 Yby means of tongues 18 that` are preferably struck-ont from the/depressed portions 11. Asshown,L these tongues` extend through central'. openings'l) in the plates 16' andare bent overv and against-the inner taces '.20v of the` plates..V rloV preventr the plates from turning" before the hinge parts l2- are se# cured Vto the pillar, l preferably provide shal-'lowrecesses 2l atdiametrically opposite sides ottheiop'cningrs 19in the plates for receiving; the tongues 181 Y 1 Thus, troni the "foregoing description ilt will he' readily apparent that the plates 16 may be readily secu-red to the depressed por- 'tions ll ot' the pillar and may beheld iin-V inovable thereafrainst so that the threaded openings in the plates will be held in registration ivith the openings 15 in the depressed portion lfl so as to 'facilitate the attachment oi the'mainhingre parts l2 `Upon the pillars. Lillie-reenter the pla-tes 16 are relatively thick and provide sullicient stock.torreceivin-g the scvzrews,V consequently lightpjauge inet-al may be nsed in the'constrnction of the niembers 5 and respectivol-,I of the pillar.
